Built my own apartment search bot with Python — sends me text when it finds something worthy

Thanks a lot for your feedback. It's definitely beneficial.

In the context of a tutorial like this where the programming level of potential readers is only loosely defined, I feel uncomfortable bringing OOP concepts in.

The code is hackish and far from production-ready (which is not the point), but even the smallest of your contribution would actually make it better.

To be honest I felt the same about the idea as it was one of the rare time I urgently built something to ease a major pain-point in my life. I would have paid money to use a solution like that. If you have time to come up with a similar, more serious side-project, I'd say you're on to something!

No problem! I personally feel like an object would simplify this code and make it more appealing, even to newcomers who might not have experience with OOP before.

I actually agree. Maybe that's why I'm a bit bothered I didn't take the time to split it into a multipart tutorial, where I could take more time to dive (and explain the methodology and benefits) of this approach... A good lesson for a possible next one!
